Amazon.com Product Description

All the features of a Les Paul but in a more affordable bolt-neck version. It features a slightly slimmer body for added comfort and hot open-coil Alnico-V Humbucking pickups on a carved top with individual pickup volume and tone controls.

Les Paul Features in an Affordable Package.

Alnico V humbuckers and the industry-standard Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays.

Angled Headstock
Unlike cheaper designs, all Epiphones feature a 14-degree headstock that gives you more pressure at the nut and so you get more sustain with less tuning hang-ups caused by "string-tree" gadgets.

Double-Waxed Pickups
Epiphone utilizes a double vacuum waxing process that ensures optimum performance. The pickup is first placed in the specialized wax vacuuming system before the cover is put in place to ensure that the wax fully penetrates to the very center of the pickup and solidifies all parts. After the cover is placed on, it is again given a second vacuum wax bath until the unit is completely saturated with wax.

Output Jack
To increase reliability and ensure consistent performance, Epiphone's proprietary output jacks feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel.

Toggle Switches
All Epiphones feature our all-metal, USA designed switches for reliable contact and longer life.

Tunomatic Bridge
Fully adjustable, the tunomatic remains a classic after over 50 years. Unlike guitars fitted with tremolos, there are no tuning or re-stringing difficulties. Plus, tone and sustain are improved because all string vibrations are transferred directly to the guitar.

Potentiometers
Epiphone is passionate about performance. That's why their instruments use one-inch diameter potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service.

Quick-Connectors
For unequalled reliability as well as ease of service, Epiphone wiring harnesses feature quick-connectors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy at last!, June 5, 2010

This review is from: Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Electric Guitar, Ebony (Electronics)
My title is such because when Amazon shipped the guitar, I was sent the Cherry Sunburst model when I had ordered the Ebony! Amazon got me taken care of almost immediately, so I'm really happy about that.

In any event, the guitar is a GREAT value for the money. It has great tone and sustain, the neck is fast and wide making it easier to play, especially if you have big hands. I had a Squier Strat Standard at one time and it does not even come close to this guitar (or the Epiphone SG-310 I had prior to the LP-100) in quality OR sound. There's just NO comparison.

Speaking of the SG-310, I actually think it sounds a bit better than the LP-100, however, both are very versatile and can play just about any music. Quality and construction are excellent. This is NOT a "beginner" guitar. You can perform live with it and I think it will hold up fine for YEARS!

I miss my SG and will most likely pickup another one very soon, but I don't regret getting another... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Guitar, August 12, 2009
This review is from: Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Electric Guitar, Ebony (Electronics)
A guitar for the ages. I used to play guitar over 8 years ago and for some reason, stopped playing and moved on to other things. Just recently, my friend bought a Gibson SG and it was pretty sharp looking. Although, my favorite guitar has always been the les paul. But alot of the gibsons are very expensive until now. At 300$, this is a steal. Everything I expected from Epiphone making a truely genuine les paul. The sound is great, the headstock has a nice bolt on neck look, the ebony finish looks as if it just came out of the shop that day,cool looking volume knobs and the chrome plate finishes. The only thing I would say is the strings will need to be replaced. Mine are a little worn, probably thats what they give you to start but no big deal. Stays in tune all the time and plays very easilly. Definetly would recommend it to any guitarist more or less and expert player but could be for begginers to. 5 stars!

I play, but I bought this for my son to use. It arrived quickly and was stunningly beautiful when I pulled it out of the box. It sounded awesome to my clumsy playing; I felt like I was a 3x better player just from using this guitar.

When my son got it, he loved it, but later on the first day he was admiring it when he noticed a crack on the back of the neck. I decided not to keep it, and called Gibson. They said they would replace it, but I would have to send it back at MY cost. Since this guitar weighs 20 pounds when boxed, I knew it would be expensive. I could understand Gibson policy if this was a warranty repair after a few months of use, but an obvious manufacturing defect THE FIRST DAY I OWNED IT was just an insane policy, so I declined. I set up a return with Amazon, and they responded immediately and got me another one (without the crack) two days later. I was extremely happy with Amazon who truly knows how to take care of their customers.
